Brits: need, an answer

It is my understanding that the railway, not the landowner, is responsible for maintaining the lineside fencing in the UK. If a cow happens to stray onto the line through a broken fence, and gets killed, the farmer is entitled to claim compensation from the railway. A tale I heard a couple of years ago was that a track gang digging in the cess (the drainage channel alongside the ballast) near Newtown, Mid Wales, came across the skeleton of a cow. It was beleived that the cow had been buried by a previous gang , probably on the order of the gaffer, to fool the farmer into thinking that his cow had been stolen!
